Robinson R44 Raven II

The Robinson R44 Raven II is a four-place, single engine piston helicopter. Comfortable seating for 4 includes large windows and unobstructed views for all seats. Main and tail rotor blades have new aerodynamic tip caps which can reduce flyover noise, making the R44 a more ‘community friendly’ helicopter while enhancing doors-off operation.

The R44 Raven II delivers the performance of an expensive turbine helicopter, but at an affordable and feasible piston price—often up to one-third the cost of a turbine helicopter. A 135 mile per hour (MPH) cruise speed and 400 mile endurance range provide for similar and equitable performance and handling characteristics of turbine helicopters, but at a fraction of the operating cost.

Comfort features include bubble window for increased cabin room and comfort, air conditioning or optional doors off operation-summer, cabin heat-winter, AM/FM/CD stereo with Bose lightweight stereo headsets. A 15 million candlepower spotlight is available for search and rescue, and for effective and unique marketing and promotional use.

Robinson R22 Beta II

The Robinson R22 Beta II is a two-place, single engine piston helicopter. Although the R22 does not have the extent of mission capability or payload capacity of the R44, it has been concluded that the R22 is an ideal entry point to cost-conscious customers who have initial interest or consideration in the use of rotorcraft in business and personal missions.

R22 Beta II

The reduced operating costs of the R22 will provide a cost-effective alternative to entry-level customers who are seeking primary rotorcraft benefits and services. Additionally, many of the mission assignments expected to be filled by VSI services, do not require the additional seating, speed, useable payload, or specialty features of the R44. While many customers will still chose the additional comfort, capability, or feature set of the R44, mission assignments such as photography, aerial surveillance, and power line / public service infrastructure patrol can effectively and more economically be accomplished in the R22.

Full clear view doors provide additional comfort for the pilot and passengers, and allow completely unobstructed and clear access for photographers and surveyors. Alternatively, doors-off operation can be conducted during the summer months, and a vertical slide window is available for unobstructed camera access during colder seasons.
